Quarantine extended in Argentina till May 10

Argentina extended a mandatory nationwide quarantine period until May 10 in a bid to combat the advance of the coronavirus or COVID-19.

The office of President Alberto Fernandez made the announcement in a statement Saturday (April 25).

The government-imposed shelter-in-place measure, in effect since mid-March, was set to expire on Sunday.

The country has recorded 3,780 coronavirus cases with 185 deaths, a modest tally that compares favorably with neighbors Peru, Chile and Brazil.
